New information on TF2?

[WhiteBoy]

I am just wondering if this was new..

I know it's been discussed that TF2 will be on source, but I saw this announcement on a site and was just wondering about it

The announcement can be found at BluesNews

bluenews.com cannot be found O__o

Now it can ?__?

From Bluesnews.com:
Here's the word from Valve's Doug Lombardi: "Some time after we announced Team Fortress 2, which was then being created on the HL1 tech, the decision was made to move the project to the Source Engine, the same engine used for HL2. The project is still in development here at Valve and we will be announcing more info after HL2 ships."


That wasn't so hard now was it?

On TeamFortress 2 [April 17, 2004, 11:57 am EDT] - 20 Comments
Missing in Action: The Lost Games of the PC, Part 3 on IGN tries to ascertain the true status of several game projects that haven't been heard from in a while, including Loose Cannon (TBD), Pantheon (RIP), Sovereign (RIP), and Imperium Galactica III / Galaxy Andromeda / Nexus: The Jupiter Incident (still breathing). Along the way, they talk with Valve's Doug Lombardi, who fills us in on the status of TeamFortress 2, the planned reworking of the popular modification (to correct a point in the article, the original T.F. was for Quake) that you may have heard discussed by your grandparents:

Edit: what a waste of time that post was.

That's a quote from just after Half-Life 2 was announced. It's not new. TheGreenBunny said so.

Not really new. Doug Lombardi said something very similar a while ago.

"I wish I was on TF2 payroll I would have a job for life and would not have to do a thing !!"

TF still rocks, It's such a retro mod which you still find original players such as me playing, ah the good old days.
However I claim no glory to team fortress, the quake version for those who have no idea what I'm talking about. "Happy Birthday to you!"
